14th Annual Great Pumpkin Beer Festival

The great pumpkin in question at Elysian Brewing Company’s annual squash-themed celebration is a gigantic gourd weighing in at several hundred pounds. It’s scooped out, scorched, filled with pumpkin beer, sealed, conditioned, and tapped at the event. What’s more, more than 80 pumpkin beers, including around 20 from Elysian, will be poured. Come clad in orange—some costumed audience member will be plucked from the crowd to be judged onstage and win a “thirst-quenching prize.”
